Jennifer Love Hewitt: I'm looking at possibly doing Broadway

And now that Ghost Whisperer is dunzo, Hewitt may head to New York. "I'm looking at possibly doing Broadway," she said. "To be able to sing and dance will be fun."

I hope she does. Her voice isn't bad at all:

She can sing, but I just don't think she will do well on Broadway after failing with her TV show. She should stay in LA. I don't think her limited fanbase will buy tix to see her on the NY stage.

I for one would gladly welcome a musical version of Can't Hardly Wait. But only if it had a song called "I Mean, He's Preston."

I have a dance video from when I was 5, called Dance! Workout with Barbie, and she's one of the dancers! She looks about 13 tops. Not exactly 'dancing' so much as marching in place with Barbie, but I'm sure she had to audition for it. hahaha.

I'd welcome her back to Broadway if it meant doing Menken's A Christmas Carol on B'way again, really want to see it done in a way that isn't cheap & regional!

The show ran for, what, 5 years?

I would hardly class The Ghost Whisperer as a failure; they had 4 seasons. Which is more than most series achieve.
I think she'd be great on Broadway; she's a decent actress and singer. In the right show, she could do very well. Good luck to her.

I'd love it! I think she's got a good voice, so if she chooses a musical I'm sure it would be great. I'm one of the people who's actually really upset GHOST WHISPERER is gone without a proper finale. I loved it.

"but I just don't think she will do well on Broadway after failing with her TV show"

Failing? where have you been, the show was a big hit. All shows get axed at some point it does not mean they failed, especially that one, it had a great run.

Do you think they will make her remove those storm shutters she wears on her eyelids?

that's 5 seasons, over 100 episodes, and in the Friday night death slot. I love Jennifer Love Hewitt and I would love to see her on Broadway. And the idea of a "Can't Hardly Wait" musical is fantastic!

Ghost Whisperer had a comic book series as a spinoff product which led to Jennifer Love Hewitt writing her own comic book currently out now called The Music Box. Whisperer was a minor sensation, actually, and the comic title sold strongly for independent publisher IDW.

I love the idea of a Cant Hardly Wait musical. Some songs could be:

"Why you gotta be such a raging Bitch"
"You're white"
"Sheep!"
"Scott Baio"
"Fag!"
"These are Memories, People!"
and of course..."Mandy"

I had no clue it ran that long, so just ignore my comment. Still, she is one "Star" I have no interest in seeing. But she has a pretty good singing voice.

Jordan, what about a flashback song called "Denise Fleming is a Tampon"?

I'm so glad I didn't see Lauren Ambrose at the stage door after Exit the King, because I know I would've said that.

It's actually done as a dream ballet, givesmevoice.

I'm racking my brain and I can't think of one single play or musical where acting is not a requirement.

Wicked?

What happens during the "Kenny Fisher is a Dendraphiliac" movement? Other than the obvious dancing trees.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 6/4/10 at 6:37pm

I was thinking about that and I think that should be done as a dream/nightmare sequence but from the trees point of view. That dance will be done immediately after the song "Oh the horrors in the fridge".

Maybe I'm aiming a little high, but I think the scope of this material is operatic.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 6/4/10 at 6:52pm

I think that's the only wait it would work. And the similarities to Angels in America are astounding and if Jenna Elfman reprised her role it would be shattering.
